You may be seeing a known bug with inputing text into Flash Player 10. Depending on the language and the platform you are running, some complex scripts cannot currently be typed (although they can be displayed).

From our release notes:

Limitations on Keyboard Input of International Scripts: Some international scripts using Unicode encoding cannot be typed into Flash Player 10 on Macintosh OS or Windows. While all writing scripts supported by Flash Player 10 can be displayed correctly, keyboard input for some of these scripts may not function. Keyboard input will work correctly for several writing scripts including Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, and Central European languages on both Windows and Macintosh. On the Windows platform, typing works correctly only for writing scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew or Thai that have Windows codepages.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hello,

We are using flash MAC OS X CS 4 / Action Script 3 to add a flash gallery online. (Using XML file as input for where images are and what the captions say)

So we have a dynamic text box for text (this is where the text goes when flash is viewed live) how can I get it to read the arabic text in the XML file and display it without it being jumbled up. Currently english displays and works fine. Whenever I change text to arabic in the XML flash jumbles them up.

Thank you!

hi. I have just solved this problem. See XML process everything in it except CDATA Tag. Try to use CData tag in XML and send urdu in it. just like that....

Hello, thanks for replying so fast, I tired playing with CDATA and not sure how it works in XML or how to assign languages to it, Also how to set the font box to a certain arabic language, I have arabic in my system but flash dosent do it well ( I added an attachment of how the text looks like , I just typed some text in the field to show u what happens.)

Also can you show me where I should add the CDATA in XML or how to format it properly I will be really grateful!
